                     For the Annual Meeting of Shareholders

                   SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR ANNUAL MEETING

     This Proxy  Statement  is furnished to the  Shareholders  of Macatawa  Bank
Corporation  (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of
Directors of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders which will
be held at Ridgepoint  Community  Church,  340 104th Avenue,  Holland,  Michigan
49423, April 27, 2000, at 10:00 A.M., local time.

     The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

     1.   To elect two directors, each to hold office for a three year term.

     2.   To transact such other business as may properly come before the
          meeting or at any adjournment thereof.

     If a proxy in the form  distributed by the Company's  Board of Directors is
properly  executed and returned to the Company,  the shares  represented  by the
proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at any adjournment
of that meeting. Where shareholders specify a choice, the proxy will be voted as
specified.  If no choice is specified,  the shares represented by the proxy will
be voted FOR the nominees  named by the Board of Directors in the proxy.  Shares
not voted at the meeting, whether by abstention,  broker non-vote, or otherwise,
will not be treated as votes cast at the meeting.  Votes cast at the meeting and
submitted by proxy will be tabulated by the Company's  transfer agent,  Macatawa
Bank.

     A proxy may be revoked prior to its exercise by delivering a written notice
of revocation to the secretary of the Company,  executing and delivering a proxy
of a later date or attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the
meeting does not automatically act to revoke a proxy.

                 VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

     On February 28, 2000,  the record date for  determination  of  shareholders
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting,  there were outstanding 3,588,565 shares
of common stock of the Company. Shares cannot be voted unless the shareholder is
present at the meeting or is represented by proxy.

     As of February 28, 2000,  only one person or entity is known to  management
who may be deemed to be the beneficial  owner of more than 5.0% of the Company's
common stock. Smith & Associates  Investment Management Services has reported to
the  Company  that is has sole  voting  and  investment  power  with  respect to
1,082,454  shares of common stock and shared  voting and  investment  power with
respect to an additional  4,250 shares of common  stock,  which in the aggregate
represent  30.28% of the issued and  outstanding  common  stock of the  Company.
Benj. A. Smith,  the chief executive  officer of the Company,  is also the chief
executive officer of Smith & Associates Investment Management Services.


                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The  Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  provide for the division of the
Board of  Directors  into  three  classes of nearly  equal  size with  staggered
three-year  terms of office.  The number of directors  constituting the Board of
Directors is determined  from time to time by the Board of Directors.  The Board
is currently composed of ten members.

     The  Company's  Board of Directors  has  determined  that it is in the best
interests  of the  Company  and its  shareholders  to  restructure  the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman  and Brian J.  Hansen  will  resign  from the Board of  Directors  of the
Company  prior to the Annual  Meeting.  Each of these  directors  and all of the
Company's  remaining  directors  will continue as directors of Macatawa  Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company.  The Company  anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide  financial  and other  services  excluding  banking  services
("Financial   Services  Company").   Once  the  Financial  Services  Company  is
organized,  certain  Macatawa  Bank  directors  will be named  to the  Financial
Services Company Board. All services  provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be provided through Macatawa Bank. For the foreseeable  future, the Company
will function purely as a holding company.  The Board restructuring will relieve
the  directors  who are leaving  the  Company's  Board from any holding  company
responsibilities  and permit  them to focus their  attention  and efforts on the
Company's subsidiary operations.

     Two persons have been nominated for election to the Board,  each to serve a
three-year term expiring at the 2003 Annual Meeting of  Shareholders.  The Board
has  nominated  G. Thomas  Boylan and Benj.  A. Smith,  III,  each of whom is an
incumbent director.

     Holders of common stock  should  complete the  accompanying  proxy.  Unless
otherwise directed by a shareholder's  proxy, it is intended that the votes cast
upon  exercise of proxies in the form  accompanying  this  statement  will be in
favor of electing the nominees as directors for the terms indicated above.  Each
of the nominees is presently  serving as directors.  The following pages of this
Proxy Statement  contain more information about the nominees and other directors
of the Company.

                                       2
<PAGE>
     A  plurality  of the votes cast at the Annual  Meeting is required to elect
the  nominees as  directors of the Company.  As such,  the two  individuals  who
receive this number of votes cast by the holders of the  Company's  common stock
will be  elected  as  directors.  Shares  not voted at the  meeting,  whether by
abstention,  broker non-vote, or otherwise, will not be treated as votes cast at
the meeting.  Votes cast at the meeting and submitted by proxy will be tabulated
by the Company.

     Except those persons nominated by the Board of Directors,  no other persons
may be nominated for election at the 2000 Annual Meeting. The Company's Articles
of  Incorporation  require  at least 60 days prior  written  notice of any other
proposed nomination and no such notice has been received.

     If any nominee becomes  unavailable for election due to  circumstances  not
now known, the accompanying  proxy will be voted for such other person to become
a director as the Board of Directors selects.

     The Board of  Directors  recommends  a vote FOR the election of each of the
persons nominated by the Board.

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

                   Committee Report on Executive Compensation

     Decisions on the compensation of the Corporation's  executive  officers are
made by the Board's Compensation  Committee.  The Compensation Committee met two
times during 1999.

     Base Salary - In general,  the Board  intends to maintain the base salaries
of the  Company's  executive  officers  and senior  managers  within  peer group
levels,  with the  ability  to make  appropriate  adjustment  to  reflect  other
relevant  factors,  which  may  include  individual   performance,   experience,
expertise and tenure.  Annually,  the Committee  establishes a base wage for the
Chief  Executive  Officer,  Mr. Smith,  and for the President,  Mr. Koning.  The
Committee's  determination  is based upon the  performance of the individual and
compensation  levels  established  by the  Company's  peers and  evaluations  by
consultants.

     The base salaries of all other officers and senior managers are established
by the Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer.

     Long-Term  Incentives - The Company  provides  long-term  incentives in the
form of stock options. Each year the Committee recommends to the Board a list of
stock options to be granted.  These options are intended to recognize individual
contributions  and to  incentivize  employees  to  contribute  to the  long-term
objectives of the Company.  To align the interests of its executive officers and
senior  managers  with the  Company's  shareholders,  the  Board's  compensation
strategy provides for a 401(k) matching contribution.

(1)  Indicates  number of shares  which may be  purchased  pursuant  to  options
     granted under the Company's  Stock  Compensation  Plan and 1998  Directors'
     Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 1999.  Options may not be exercised in
     full or in part prior to the expiration of one year from the date of grant.
(2)  The exercise price equals the  prevailing  market price of the Common Stock
     on the date of  grant.  The  exercise  price  may be paid in  cash,  by the
     delivery of previously  owned  shares,  through the  withholding  of shares
     otherwise issuable upon exercise or a combination thereof.
(3)  These  amounts are based on assumed rates of  appreciation  over the entire
     option period without any discount to present value.  Actual gains, if any,
     on stock option  exercises will be dependent on overall  market  conditions
     and on the future  performance of the Company's Common Stock.  There can be
     no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be realized.

(1)  The value of unexercised  options  reflects the increase in market value of
     the Company's Common Stock from the date of grant through December 31, 1999
     (when the  closing  price of the  Company's  Common  Stock was  $14.50  per
     share).  Value actually realized upon exercise by the Named Executives will
     depend on the value of the Company's Common Stock at the time of exercise.

supplemental unemployment benefits to its regular employees, including executive
officers. In January 1999, the Company implemented a 401(k) plan.

                        TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING MANAGEMENT

     Directors and officers of the Company and their  associates  were customers
of, and had  transactions  with,  subsidiaries  of the  Company in the  ordinary
course of  business  during  1999.  All loans and  commitments  included in such
transactions  were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially  the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral,  as those prevailing at the
time for  comparable  transactions  with  other  persons  and do not  involve an
unusual risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

     The Bank leases its Holland office  located at 106 E. 8th Street,  Holland,
Michigan  49423,  from a  corporation  wholly  owned by Benj A.  Smith,  III, an
officer and  director of the  Company.  The Bank  leases its  Wyoming,  Michigan
branch facility from a limited  liability  company co-owned by John F. Koetje, a
director  of the  Company.  The  terms of these  leases  were  negotiated  on an
arm's-length  basis,  and the  Company  believes  that the rent and other  terms
reflect fair market value.

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors  and officers to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of
shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Based upon
written representations by each director and officer, all the reports were filed
by such  persons  during the last fiscal  year,  except for one late report with
respect to one transaction by each of Messrs. Benj. A. Smith, James L. Batts and
James L. Jurries.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Management's  discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in such forward-looking statements.

     The  following  section  presents  additional  information  to  assess  the
financial  condition and results of operations of the Company and the Bank. This
section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the supplemental financial data contained elsewhere in this Appendix.

Overview

     Macatawa Bank Corporation (the "Company") is a Michigan  corporation and is
the bank holding  company for Macatawa  Bank (the  "Bank").  The Bank  commenced
operations  on November 25,  1997.  The Bank is a Michigan  chartered  bank with
depository  accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  The
Bank  provides  a full  range  of  commercial  and  consumer  banking  services,
primarily in the  communities of Holland and Zeeland,  Michigan,  as well as the
surrounding market area primarily located in Ottawa county, Michigan.

     The Company has experienced  rapid and substantial  growth since opening in
November  1997.  At December 31,  1999,  the Bank had  thirteen  branch  banking
offices,  and two service  facilities.  The Company  completed  an  underwritten
initial  public  offering  of common  stock on April 7, 1998,  resulting  in net
proceeds of $14.1 million.  In June 1999,  the Company  completed an offering of
common stock to its shareholders resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million.

     The Bank  established a Trust  Department in the fourth  quarter of 1998 to
further  provide for customers'  financial  needs.  The Trust  Department  began
business  on  January  3,  1999 and as of  December  31,  1999,  had  assets  of
approximately $183 million.

     The  Company's  Board of Directors  has  determined  that it is in the best
interests  of the  Company  and its  shareholders  to  restructure  the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman  and Brian J.  Hansen  will  resign  from the Board of  Directors  of the
Company  prior to the Annual  Meeting.  Each of these  directors  and all of the
Company's  remaining  directors  will continu as  directors of Macatawa  Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company.  The Company  anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide  financial  and other  services  excluding  banking  services
("Financial  Services  Company").  Once the Financial  Services Company Board is
organized,  certain  Macatawa  Bank  directors  will be named  to the  Financial
Services Company Board. All services  provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be provided through Macatawa Bank. For the foreseeable  future, the Company
will function purely as a holding company.  The Board restructuring will relieve
the  directors  who are leaving  the  Company's  Board from any holding  company
responsibilities  and permit  them to focus their  attention  and efforts on the
Company's subsidiary operations.

Financial Condition

     Summary.   Total  assets  of  the  Company  increased  by  $155,692,000  to
$344,921,000 at December 31, 1999,  from  $189,229,000 at December 31, 1998. The
increase in assets is primarily  attributable  to the Bank continuing to attract
customer  deposits and then lending and  otherwise  investing  these funds.  The
fourth quarter of 1999 was the Company's eighth full quarter of operations,  and
the number of deposit accounts increased from  approximately  14,000 at December
31, 1998,  to  approximately  27,000  accounts at December 31, 1999.  Management
attributes the strong growth in deposits to quality customer service, the desire
of customers to deal with a local bank, and convenient accessibility through the
expansion  of  branches.  The Company  anticipates  that the Bank's  assets will
continue to increase  during  2000,  which will be the Bank's third full year of
operations.  However, management does not believe that the rate of increase will
be as rapid as it was during the first two years of operation.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which include federal
funds sold and short-term  investments,  increased  $2,600,862 to $20,554,039 at
December  31, 1999,  from  $17,953,177  at December 31, 1998.  The increase is a
result of cash reserves needed for additional branches.  The Bank also increased
cash  reserves  in  order to be  prepared  for any  large  cash  withdrawals  by
customers  concerned about Y2K.  Balances  required to cover account services at
correspondent banks were increased due to volumes.

     Securities.  Securities  are  purchased and  classified  as "available  for
sale."  The  securities  may be sold to meet the  Bank's  liquidity  needs.  The
primary  objective of the Company's  investing  activities is to provide for the
safety of the principal  invested.  Secondary  considerations  include earnings,
liquidity  and  overall  exposure  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  Securities
available for sale increased $1,274,075 to $28,281,375 at December 31, 1999 from
$27,007,300 at December 31, 1998, or 4.72%.

     The Loan  Portfolio.  The majority of loans are made to  businesses  in the
form of commercial loans and real estate  mortgages.  Commercial loans increased
$105,722,570  from $95,669,151 at December 31, 1998, to $201,391,721 at December

of the Bank's total loan portfolio.  In addition,  the Bank's consumer  mortgage
loan volume is  significant;  however,  only a small  portion of these loans are
retained for the Bank's own portfolio.  The Bank  originated $141 million (3,760
loans) in 1999 and $102 million (2,658 loans) in 1998.

     Nonperforming  Assets.  Nonperforming loans as of December 31, 1999 totaled
$101,000. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate for
the lending  portfolio.  Loan performance is reviewed regularly by external loan
review specialists,  loan officers, and senior management. When reasonable doubt
exists  concerning  collectibility  of interest or  principal,  the loan will be
placed in nonaccrual status.  Any interest  previously accrued but not collected
at that time will be  reversed  and  charged  against  current  earnings.  As of
December 31, 1999 there were no other  interest  bearing  assets which  required
classification.  Management  is not aware of any  recommendations  by regulatory
agencies,  which, if implemented,  would have a material impact on the Company's
liquidity, capital or operations.

Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses

     The  allowance  for loan losses as of December  31,  1999,  was  $3,995,165
representing  approximately  1.40%  of  gross  loans  outstanding,  compared  to
$2,030,000 at December 31, 1998, or 1.47% of gross loans  outstanding.  The Bank
has not  experienced  any material  credit  losses as of December 31, 1999.  The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level  management feels is adequate
to  absorb  losses  inherent  in the  loan  portfolio.  Management  prepares  an
evaluation which is based upon a continuous review of the Bank's loan portfolio,
the Bank's and industry's  historical loan loss  experience,  known and inherent
risks  included  in the loan  portfolio,  composition  of  loans,  growth of the
portfolio  and current  economic  conditions.  The  allowance for loan losses is
analyzed quarterly by management.  In so doing,  management assigns a portion of
the allowance to the entire  portfolio by loan type and to specific credits that
have been  identified  as problem  loans and reviews past loss  experience.  The
local economy and particular  concentrations are considered, as well as a number
of other factors.

     Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment increased to $9,997,566
at December 31, 1999 from $7,125,755 at December 31, 1998. The increase resulted
primarily  from the purchase of furniture and  equipment,  which  increased from
$2,553,229 at December 31, 1998 to $4,516,473 at December 31, 1999.

     Retained  Deficit.  As of  December  31,  1998,  the Company had a retained
deficit of  $2,654,076,  and as of December 31, 1999, the Company had a retained
deficit of  $1,960,810.  The retained  deficit is primarily  the result of prior
year losses,  including the impact of  provisions  for loan losses which totaled
$2,022,500 in 1998. Also contributing to the retained deficit were wages paid to
employees and costs  associated  with expanding the branch  network.  Management
believes that the expenditures made in 1997 and 1998 created the  infrastructure
and laid the foundation for future growth and profitability in subsequent years.

     Allowance for Loan Losses.  The Company had an allowance for loan losses of
approximately  1.40% of total loans at December 31, 1999. The provision for loan
losses for the year ended  December  31,  1999 was  $1,967,000.  This amount was
provided  as a result of the  increase in the total loan  portfolio.  Management
considers it prudent  during the first years of  operations  to provide for loan
losses at a level  which is  consistent  with  levels  maintained  by banks with
similar  loan  portfolios.  Management  will  continue  to monitor its loan loss
performance and adjust its loan loss reserve to more closely align itself to its
own history of loss experience.

     Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income for the year ended December 31,
1999 was $1,527,998, consisting primarily of service charges on deposit accounts
which totaled $660,920 and gain on sales of loans which totaled $623,520.  Trust
revenues of $228,588 also contributed to non-interest  income.  Trust fee income
continues  to increase  each  quarter as the amount of trust  assets  increases.
Trust  revenues   recorded  in  the  last  two  quarters  of  1999   represented
approximately  75% of the year to date trust revenues.  Non-interest  income for
the year ended December 31, 1998 was $683,382 and consisted primarily of gain on
sales of loans of $520,645 and service charges on deposit accounts which totaled
$157,109.  No trust revenues were recorded in 1998,  since the trust  department
did not begin business until January 3, 1999.

     Equity Capital. The Company obtained its initial equity capital as a result
of a private placement on behalf of the Bank to investors in November, 1997. The
Company raised  additional equity capital of $14.1 million in its initial public
offering  completed in April 1998. As a condition to regulatory  approval of the
Bank's formation, the Bank is required to maintain capitalization  sufficient to
provide a ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total assets of at least 8% through the end
of the third year of its operations. At March 31, 1999 the Bank's Tier 1 Capital
as a percent of total  assets was  8.43%.  Due to the rapid  growth of the Bank,
additional  equity capital was required.  In June 1999, the Company raised $14.6
million of equity  capital net  proceeds in an  offering  made to the  Company's
shareholders.  The Company  contributed  $10,000,000  from the  proceeds of this
offering to the Bank's capital. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's Tier 1 Capital as a
percent of total assets was 10.83%.  At December 31, 1999,  this ratio decreased
to 8.59%,  due to asset  growth.  The  Company has  approximately  $5 million in
additional funds which it could contribute to the Bank's capital if necessary.

     The following table shows various capital ratios as of December 31, 1999.

               Asset Liability Management and Market Risk Analysis

     Asset liability management aids the Company in maintaining  liquidity while
maintaining  a balance  between  interest  earning  assets and interest  bearing
liabilities.  Management of interest rate  sensitivity  attempts to avoid widely
varying net  interest  margins and to achieve  consistent  net  interest  income
through  periods of  changing  interest  rates.  Certain  savings  accounts  and
interest  bearing  checking  accounts  are are  shown as  repricing  other  than
contractually  due  to the  stability  of  these  products  in a  rate  changing
environment. Management monitors the Company's exposure to interest rate changes
using a GAP analysis. The following table illustrates the Company's GAP position
at various intervals (in thousands of dollars) at December 31, 1999.

     Based on this  analysis,  management  does not believe the Company would be
materially impacted by changes in interest rates.

     Other  variables  besides  interest  rate changes may have an impact on the
financial  condition of the Bank  including,  but not limited to,  growth of the
company, structure of the balance sheet, and economic and competitive factors.

                              Year 2000 Compliance

     Because many computerized systems use only two digits to record the year in
date fields (for example, the year 1998 is recorded as 98), such systems may not
be able to  accurately  process  dates  ending in the year 2000 and  after.  The
effects of the issue will vary from  system to system and may  adversely  affect
the ability of a financial  institution's  operations  as well as its ability to
prepare  financial  statements.  The Company and the Bank were organized in 1997
and the Company acquired its computer  equipment within the past eighteen months
and has contracted with a leading supplier of information  processing  services.
This equipment and these services were purchased with manufacturer assurances of
Year 2000 compliance.

     The Company has not experienced any Year 2000 problems. Although considered
unlikely,   unanticipated   problems,   including   problems   associated   with
non-compliant  third  parties,  could still occur.  The Company will continue to
manage its business and address any issues that may arise.


                         Recent Regulatory Developments

     Recently enacted federal legislation (the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act of 1999)
eliminates many Federal and state law barriers to  affiliations  among banks and
other financial services  providers.  The legislation,  which takes effect March
11, 2000,  establishes a statutory framework pursuant to which full affiliations
can occur between banks and securities  firms,  insurance  companies,  and other
financial  companies.  The  legislation  provides some degree of  flexibility in
structuring  these new  affiliations,  although  certain  activities may only be
conducted  through a holding company  structure.  The legislation  preserves the
role of the Board of  Governors  of the Federal  Reserve  System as the umbrella
supervisor  for  holding  companies,  but  incorporates  a system of  functional
regulation pursuant to which the various Federal and state financial supervisors
will   continue  to  regulate   the   activities   traditionally   within  their
jurisdictions.  The legislation  specifies that banks may not participate in the
new , affiliations unless they are well-capitalized, well-managed and maintain a
rating under the Community  Reinvestment Act of 1977 of at least  "satisfactory"
among all affiliates.

                                      A-17

     At this time, the Company is unable to predict the impact this  legislation
may have on the Company.

     The  Company's  Board of Directors  has  determined  that it is in the best
interests  of the  Company  and its  shareholders  to  restructure  the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman  and Brian J.  Hansen  will  resign  from the Board of  Directors  of the
Company  prior to the Annual  Meeting.  Each of these  directors  and all of the
Company's  remaining  directors  will continue as directors of Macatawa  Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company.  The Company  anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide  financial  and other  services  excluding  banking  services
("Financial  Services  Company").  Once the Financial  Services Company Board is
organized,  certain  Macatawa  Bank  directors  will be named  to the  Financial
Services Company Board. All services  provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be e provided  through  Macatawa  Bank.  For the  foreseeable  future,  the
Company will function purely as a holding company.  The Board restructuring will
relieve  the  directors  who are leaving  the  Company's  Board from any holding
company responsibilities and permit them to focus their attention and efforts on
the Company's subsidiary operations.


                           Forward Looking Statements

     This report contains certain forward-looking  statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.   The  Company  intends  such
forward-looking  statements  to be covered  by the safe  harbor  provisions  for
forward-looking  statements  contained in the Private  Securities  Reform Act of
1995,  and is  including  this  statement  for  purposes  of these  safe  harbor
provisions.  Forward-looking statements,  which are based on certain assumptions
and describe  future plans,  strategies  and  expectations  of the Company,  are
generally  identifiable  by use  of the  words  "believe,"  "expect,"  "intend,"
"anticipate,"   "estimate,"   "project,"  "may"  or  similar  expressions.   The
presentation  and  discussion  of the  provision  and allowance for loan losses,
statements  concerning future  profitability or future growth or increases,  and
the Year 2000 readiness  discussion are examples of inherently  forward  looking
statements in that they involve  judgements  and  statements of belief as to the
outcome of future events. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or  strategies  is  inherently  uncertain.  Factors which
could have a material  adverse affect on the operations and future  prospects of
the Company and the Bank include,  but are not limited to, changes in:  interest
rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and
fiscal policies of the U.S. Government,  including policies of the U.S. Treasury
and the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  the  quality  or  composition  of the loan or
investment  portfolios,  demand for loan products,  deposit flows,  competition,
demand for  financial  services  in the  Company's  market  area and  accounting
principles,  policies and guidelines.  These risks and  uncertainties  should be
considered in evaluating  forward-looking  statements and undue reliance  should
not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Company and
its business,  including  additional  factors that could  materially  affect the
Company's  financial  results,  is included in the  Company's  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors and Shareholders
Macatawa Bank Corporation
Zeeland, Michigan


We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Macatawa Bank
Corporation  as of  December  31,  1999 and 1998  and the  related  consolidated
statements  of income,  changes in  shareholders'  equity and cash flows for the
years  ended  December  31,  1999 and 1998 and for the period  from May 21, 1997
(date of inception)  through December 31, 1997.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Macatawa  Bank
Corporation at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the period
from May 21, 1997 (date of  inception)  through  December 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations:  The Company became the bank holding  company for Macatawa
Bank (the  "Bank") on  February  23,  1998,  when all of the Bank's  outstanding
common stock (817,500  shares) was converted into all of the outstanding  common
stock of the Company (940,125 shares) and all of the Bank's  shareholders became
all of the Company's shareholders. The exchange ratio in the conversion was 1.15
shares of Company  common stock for each share of Bank common stock.  The Bank's
common  stock had been  issued to it  shareholders  as of  November 7, 1997 as a
result of a private  offering of the Bank's  common  stock at a price of $10 per
share  or  a  total  of  $8,175,000.   As  this  was   essentially  an  internal
reorganization, the consolidated financial statements are presented by including
operations of the Company and Bank for all periods presented.  Further share and
per share data has been  adjusted  for the  conversion  ratio of 1.15  shares of
Company stock for one share of Bank stock.

Macatawa Bank Corporation is a regional,  community-based financial institution,
located in Zeeland,  Michigan.  The Bank's primary  services  include  accepting
deposits and making  commercial,  mortgage and installment loans in the Michigan
counties of Allegan,  Ottawa and Kent. The Bank also operates a trust department
which  provides  fiduciary,  investment  and other  related  services.  The Bank
commenced its  application  process on May 21, 1997,  completed its common stock
sale on November 7, 1997 and opened for  operations  on November  25, 1997 after
several months of work by incorporators and employees in preparing  applications
with the various regulatory agencies and obtaining insurance and building space.
The costs  associated  with the  organization of the Company are included in the
1998 income statement.

The Company completed an underwritten initial public offering of common stock on
April 7, 1998, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $14,123,378.  On
April 30, 1999, the Company had another common stock offering and sold 1,153,440
shares, raising $14,622,270.

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Macatawa Bank, after
elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates:  To prepare financial  statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based
on available  information.  These estimates and  assumptions  affect the amounts
reported in the financial  statements and the disclosures  provided,  and future
results  could differ.  The  allowance  for loan losses,  the deferred tax asset
valuation   allowance  and  the  fair  values  of  financial   instruments   are
particularly subject to change.

Concentration  of Credit  Risk:  Loans are granted to, and deposits are obtained
from,  customers  primarily in the western  Michigan  area as  described  above.
Substantially  all loans are secured by specific items of collateral,  including
residential real estate,  commercial real estate, commercial assets and consumer
assets.  Other financial  instruments which  potentially  subject the Company to
concentrations  of credit  risk  include  deposit  accounts  in other  financial
institutions.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash Flow  Reporting:  Cash and cash  equivalents  include cash on hand,  demand
deposits with other financial institutions and short-term securities (securities
with  maturities of equal to or less than 90 days and federal funds sold).  Cash
flows  are   reported   net  for   customer   loan  and  deposit   transactions,
interest-bearing time deposits with other financial  institutions and short-term
borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.

Securities:  Securities  available  for sale consist of those  securities  which
might be sold prior to  maturity  due to changes in interest  rates,  prepayment
risks,  yield and  availability of alternative  investments,  liquidity needs or
other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their
fair value and the related unrealized  holding gain or loss is reported,  net of
related income tax effects,  as a separate  component of  shareholders'  equity,
until realized.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Gains and
losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. Securities
are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.

Loans:  Loans are  reported at the  principal  balance  outstanding,  net of the
allowance for loan losses, and charge-offs.  Loans held for sale are reported at
the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.  While the Company does sell
loans on the secondary market, there were no loans held for sale at December 31,
1999 or 1998. Interest income is reported on the interest method.

Allowance  for Loan  Losses:  The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is a  valuation
allowance,  increased  by the  provision  for loan  losses and  recoveries,  and
decreased by charge-offs.  Management  estimates the allowance  balance required
based on known and inherent  risks in the  portfolio,  economic  conditions  and
other factors.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but
the entire  allowance is available for any loan that, in management's  judgment,
should be charged-off.

Loan  impairment  is  reported  when full  payment  under the loan  terms is not
expected.  Impairment  is evaluated in aggregate  for  smaller-balance  loans of
similar  nature such as  residential  mortgage  and  consumer  loans,  and on an
individual loan basis for other loans.  If a loan is impaired,  a portion of the
allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported,  net, at the present  value
of  estimated  future  cash flows  using the  loan's  existing  rate.  Loans are
evaluated for impairment  when payments are delayed,  typically 90 days or more,
or when the internal grading system indicates a doubtful  classification.  There
were no loans classified as impaired as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 or for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 or for the period from May 21, 1997 (date
of inception) through December 31, 1997.

                                                                            A-26

                           December 31, 1999 and 1998



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Foreclosed  Assets:  Assets acquired  through or instead of loan foreclosure are
initially  recorded at fair value when acquired,  establishing a new cost basis.
If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs
after  acquisition are expensed.  The Bank held no foreclosed assets at December
31, 1999 or 1998.

Premises  and  Equipment:  Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less
accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and
accelerated  methods over the estimated  useful lives of the respective  assets.
Maintenance,  repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as
expenditures  occur and major  improvements  are  capitalized.  These assets are
reviewed  for  impairment  under SFAS No. 121 when events  indicate the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.

Stock Compensation:  Employee  compensation  expense under stock option plans is
reported if options  are granted  below  market  price at grant date.  Pro forma
disclosures  of net income and earnings per share are shown using the fair value
method of SFAS No. 123 to measure expense for options  granted,  using an option
pricing model to estimate fair value.

Income  Taxes:  Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due
or refundable  and the change in deferred tax assets and  liabilities.  Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences   between  the  carrying   amounts  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities,  computed using enacted tax rates.  Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance due to a lack of historical operating performance.

Fair Values of Financial  Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant  judgment  regarding  interest rates,  credit risk,  prepayments and
other factors,  especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market  conditions could  significantly  affect the
estimates.  The fair  value  estimates  of  existing  on-and  off-balance  sheet
financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or
the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share:  Basic earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss)
divided by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding  during the
period.  Diluted  earnings  per common share  includes  the  dilutive  effect of
additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

                                                                            A-27

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comprehensive Income (Loss):  Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income
(loss) and unrealized gains and losses on securities  available for sale, net of
tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Segment Reporting: Macatawa Bank Corporation,  through the branch network of its
subsidiary,  Macatawa  Bank,  provides a broad  range of  financial  services to
individuals and companies in western  Michigan.  These services  include demand,
time and savings deposits;  lending; ATM processing;  cash management; and trust
services.  While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams
of the  various  Company  products  and  services,  operations  are  managed and
financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly,  all of
the Company's  banking  operations are considered by management to be aggregated
in one reportable operating segment.

Dividend  Restriction:   The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  banking
regulations which require the maintenance of certain capital levels and positive
retained  earnings,  which will  prevent  payment of  dividends  until  positive
retained earnings are achieved and may limit the amount of dividends thereafter.

Reclassifications:  Certain amounts on the 1998 and 1997 consolidated  financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.


NOTE 2 - CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The Company was required to have  $2,597,000  and $803,000 of cash on hand or on
deposit with the Federal  Reserve Bank to meet  regulatory  reserve and clearing
requirements at year end 1999 and 1998. These balances do not earn interest.

The  recorded  consolidated  income tax  provision in both 1999 and 1998 differs
from that computed by multiplying pre-tax income by the statutory federal income
tax  rates  due to the  valuation  allowance,  tax-exempt  interest  income  and
nondeductible expenses.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

Some  financial  instruments  are used to meet customer  financing  needs and to
reduce exposure to interest rate changes.  These financial  instruments  include
commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit.  These involve,  to
varying degrees,  credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount reported
in the financial statements.

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no  violation  of any  condition  established  in the  commitment,  and
generally have fixed expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments to guarantee a customer's  performance to a third party. Exposure to
credit  loss  if  the  other  party  does  not  perform  is  represented  by the
contractual  amount for  commitments  to extend  credit and  standby  letters of
credit.  Collateral  or other  security  is  normally  not  obtained  for  these
financial  instruments  prior to their  use,  and  many of the  commitments  are
expected to expire without being used.

A summary of the notional or contractual  amounts of financial  instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk at year-end follows:

</TABLE>
Approximately  50% of the Bank's  commitments  to make loans are at fixed rates,
offered at current market rates.  The majority of the variable rate  commitments
noted  above are tied to prime and expire  within 30 days.  The  majority of the
unused lines of credit are at variable rates tied to prime.

The Bank  conducts  substantially  all of its  business  operations  in  western
Michigan.

The Bank leases certain office and branch premises and equipment under operating
lease  agreements.  Total rental  expense for all  operating  leases  aggregated
$305,516 in 1999,  $117,886 in 1998 and $1,600 in 1997.  Future minimum  rentals
under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 1999 are as follows:

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The  Company  and the  Bank  are  subject  to  regulatory  capital  requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective  action  regulations   involve   quantitative   measures  of  assets,
liabilities,  and certain  off-balance-sheet  items  calculated under regulatory
accounting  practices.  Capital amounts and  classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors, and the regulators can lower  classifications in certain cases. Failure
to meet various capital  requirements can initiate  regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well  capitalized,  adequately  capitalized,   undercapitalized,   significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized,  although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition.  If only adequately  capitalized,
regulatory   approval   is   required   to   accept   brokered   deposits.    If
undercapitalized,  capital  distributions  are  limited,  as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

At year-end,  actual capital levels (in thousands) and minimum  required  levels
for the Bank were:

The  methods  and  assumptions  used to  estimate  fair value are  described  as
follows.

Carrying  amount is the  estimated  fair  value  for cash and cash  equivalents,
Federal Home Loan Bank stock, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable
and payable,  demand  deposits,  short-term  debt,  and  variable  rate loans or
deposits that reprice  frequently  and fully.  Security fair values are based on
market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available,  on the
rate and term of the security and information  about the issuer.  For fixed rate
loans,  deposits,  and  borrowings  and for variable rate loans,  deposits,  and
borrowings with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on
discounted  cash flows using current  market rates applied to the estimated life
and  credit  risk.  The fair  value of  off-balance-sheet  items is based on the
current  fees or cost that  would be charged  to enter  into or  terminate  such
arrangements.
